@Lawyer, Nice work or your investigations. However, I reside there currently and must confess that the enviroment is quite peaceful and not water logged like you said. Even the price you gave is correct because i made enquiries myself but didn't push further since i didn't have that much on me. I would be interested in a part payment thing anyway.  A note of caution to anyone who is interested: due to the sandfilling been done at lekki scheme 2, theres a tendency in a couple of years time that some parts of okun ajah will be affected by water. Also some parts of the community(the part that streaches towards eleko is without electricity. The poles and transformer are there but no cables to connect them. The road into the community from abraham adesanya is not 100% good as it has bad portions too. Apart from the above, its a good area to consider. If you have the money, make the move now since its almost time for eleya. |

@lawyer Thanks for this piece of information and you've done a very good job. All your findings are correct except the omonle fee part. I can guarantee that you will still have to pay the the omonle fee staring from the foundation up to the roofing fee. This could be as high as 50k depending on your negotiation skills. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

@Ajileko, Thank you very much for pointing that out. In fact Dynamite alerted me to this same thing yesterday and i promised to look into it because part of the deal i had with them if Nairalanders were coming to that place was to factor in all omonile money in their total pricing and that would be it, but from this new information, i would have to meet with all the families personally and i am thinking of doing it on Wednesday to sort that out once and for all and i promise to relate the outcome of my meeting with them on that issue and see how all parties can benefit! Once again Thanks for the alert its truely appreciated and i will continue to update everyone as things go on! Cheers @Lawyer, Nice work or your investigations. However, I reside there currently and must confess that the enviroment is quite peaceful and not water logged like you said. Even the price you gave is correct because i made enquiries myself but didn't push further since i didn't have that much on me. I would be interested in a part payment thing anyway.

If you have the money, make the move now since its almost time for eleya. Hi Lonelytunes Thanks for your observations. As per the sandfilling of Lekki Scheme 2 by the government, well i wont say i am a geologist to know what the effect of the sandfilling will do to that area in future but i know the new laws in Lagos makes it a crime to dredge for sand in those areas without government permission and those sands used to sandfill Lekki Scheme 2 comes from Ikorodu not the Ajah area because of the Ecological effect that is more visible by dredging compared to Ikorodu or Badagry. Besides if Lekki Phase 1 is still doing well without the presumed hazards aforementioned, i assume the government will take the same reasonable care and due diligence to sandfill that area properly to avoid disasters and the good thing is that Okun Ajah doesnt need sand filling, so thats a major plus! As for the communities stretching down to Eleko, to be honest, i havent done the searches and i am not advocating that place as a good buy for now until i do all my searches but that will be done in due course. But Okun Ajah has light booming well with everything installed! In respect of the Instalmental payment, i am still working on it with the Families, we came to a deadlock and we adjourned till next week! And i am trying to make sure we come to a compromise to benefit everyone i.e both the family and Nairalanders! Stay tuned Finally to those that think its a fraudulent or 419 thing, dont criticize on the pages of Nairaland, go and view it yourself if you have the opportunity and make your own conclusions. Why should you buy something that you havent seen or sent somebody that is close to you to view it for you if your not chanced?
Despite the fact i am vouching for its authencity personally, it will just be plain foolishness and stupidity for a prospective purchaser not to go there and do his or her own private physical and documentary Evidence! Even if you choose not to view it yourself, wont you know who your paying money too?
I have staked my credibilty for the first time on Nairaland by endorsing an Area for people to buy. I have more to lose if anything goes wrong or there is a misrepresentation anywhere, that is why i take my time to do a thorough investigation myself personally before i give my report so that you can adequately know who to hold responsible!

Hello Lawyer,

@ Everyone I think i will start tracing all the people on Nairaland who are secretly hiding behind their computers who have already bought lands there to come and help me out o with these questions o! Let me reiterate again: 1. I don't own the lands. I only sort out the legal aspect of it to make sure there is no wahala legally 2. Once you contact me, i forward all the information about the land owners to you for you to contact them one or one (No mago mago am not an Agent to the place!) 3. They are the ones that know the prevailing price of today because yesterday's price is different from today's price. So you will be well advised to talk to them and negotiate favourably in terms of your pocket and your price and i know when to chip in. 4. My own work is to make sure everything to be done legally is well documented and is in order to save you from any omonile stress or government wahala in future. 5. Finally all other questions should be directed to the owners in terms of the availability of remaining plots, price, security, development etc. They are not vampires, so its your right to ask those questions till they decide they have finished selling! 6. As Per the day before Yesterday, i was told it is between N2.5 Million and N3Million depending on how close it is to the beach! If you negotiate with them and have a rapport, you might get it lower. Nothing is Impossible! 7. Finally take all reasonable steps to visit the place yourself or send someone you trust to be your eyes and ears if your over seas to meet the owners when your doing your personal and physical inspection. I will not encourage any body to buy a land through the phones or through the internet without know precisely what you want to buy! I have done my own theoretical research for you free, its your turn to do your own physical and personal research. Finally, if you see me online via Nairaland and your on yahoo messenger, you can buzz me so we can chat personally so i can put you through more!  Cheers |

Might be a naive question but i have got to ask anyway.
Is it wise to go for a plot close to the beach especially with the Bar Beach problem.
Though Bar Beach is a separate area from this location, it still worries me cos no one ever predicted the Bar Beach problem 20 -30 years ago

No, you can buy one further inland if you want. In fact the further inland you go the cheaper the land.

I don't know why people waste money on places like ajah when you can invest your money better else where on the mainland and get very huge returns.
I hate that place so much, i stayed there in a friend's place once. The mosquitoes there are like giants they suck blood especially if you are visiting from abroad, they know you by your fresh skin. To get to town is nightmare. Good for people that steal money from the government though.
Don't take this as gospel it is all my own opinion. DYOR

Just to clarify some pointers made in your comment: 1. People Invest in the Lekki/ Ajah Axis because of the Quadruple Returns in terms of Investment. People who Bought Lands 5 years ago for N500,000 are now selling those properties for N15Million and People who Bought Lands Early this year for N600,000 cannot take any thing Less than N2Million to buy it and if they wait till December, they will have to increase it. The Ajah Environment is the fastest Growing Suburban Axis probably in Africa today and Since the Government still wants to make it a Highbrow environment, Property Valuation and returns will continue to rise and rise to beat the Mainland Market anyday anytime. I can tell you the only areas on the Mainland where you would see High returns include the Ikeja, Surulere, Apapa, Festac, Ilupeju, Gbagada Axis. But then Again, Those places have already been scooped way back up so the returns level expected is still within a projected Price Frame that cannot easily jump up. i.e its kinda fixed But Lekki/Ajah has no boundaries especially with the Free trade zone on going plans and constructions which would include an Airport and Seaport and the numerous beaches abound, trust me, i wont be suprised if all the expariates decide to stay on the Island for Good and if the State Governement decide to Give the Lekki Ajah Environment a Special Status Quota to the detriment of the other parts of Lagos. At least they have already started building Huge toll gates to divide Mainland from Lekki/ Ajah. For example the above Property for Sale in Okun Ajah can be attributed to this returns in Investment. The owners confided in Me that they bought these lands 3-5 years ago at the rate of N400,000 and today its going for N2.5Million to N3Million which is quite Cheap for Now in my own book compared to other places and the attendant amenities and comfort inherent it. Come back in 2012 and say you want to buy a piece of Land in Okun Ajah for N5Million -N7Million and am sure the owners will throw your money at you and finish it up with Diabolical Curses! That is why A lot of People are Rushing to buy and scoop up properties in Ajah now so that they can enjoy the fruits of property Investment in Future and for their Children's Financial Security. The level of Developments planned in that area is astonishing and once you realise what happened with the Maroko story that has changed the Real Estate Financial landscape, then you should know that Opportunity comes but once and you have to grab it lest you wail and Gnash over that Missed Opportunity. FYI I Stay on the Mainland and i groan under the same terrible traffic to and fro Work. Traffic is the hall mark of Lagos and its everywhere and not limited to Ajah Axis Alone. In fact there are more plans to build expansion bridges and connection link roads in the Lekki Ajah Metropolis than on the Mainland where the Government has given up. Lekki Ajah is the new Lagos and in the next few years all your present complains will be replaced with all the infrastructures lagos is meant to have and by that time, i hope you will be ready to buy my Land in Okun Ajahfor N70Million Cheers and thanks for your contribution  Finally lol@ the Mosquito joke! Next Time you come, Visit Okokomaiko or Abule Egba and compare how ferocious those Mosquitos are and you will realise that Lekki Mosquitos are Aje butter Mosquitos compared to the Ones in Mushin and Ilasamaja |

Anyway one more thing: The reason i have not responded To Most People's request in terms of the price and Inspection of the place is because i have a huge meeting with almost 14 families in that Community and their Heads and i want to transfer most of the questions i have been asked here to them in respect of the Final Price, Omonile fees,Inspection, Part Payment or instalmental Payments etc before i can say you can do this and that. Once that is done, i will post my report and findings to you and you can take it up from there. Hopefully before i meet them, you can drop any Question here that you think is relevant for me to ask them in your favour before i see them Cheers! |

@Lawyer , With Traffic Shocked No comment because i can't estimate typical lagos Gridlock. Today's timing might be different from other days, so i wont put a time line. But what i will say that i know is that from Opposite Cheveron, there is a short cut passing all through the Public Alpha Beach and Lafiagi Beach which connects Okun Ajah in 10mins approximately and alot of people use it. Dee Law, well done. You're my guy anyday. Good name is ALWAYS better than Silver or even wads of currency. The "bolded parts" above refers: Has that road been tarred? I have landed property at Alpha Beach/Lafiaji axis, along the beach for some while now but that "sandy road" along the beach has made developments impossible, even my friends have "stayed action" for some time now, we are waiting for the road to be tarred. Heavy duty construction vehicles keep sinking and it costs us much to get them out  Can you give me a low down on that road that goes along the beach line (the short-cut) from Alpha Beach- Lafiaji - Okun Ajah? thanks and cheers. |

Very well said. Whoa. Aje butter Mosquitoes, never heard of such before. ROFL. I think I'll prefer those species to Aje pako types. Can you imagine how the later types will attack you?  Don't even want to imagine it. As for traffic, lets be honest here, going in and out of Ikorodu, is one my greatest nightmares Wish I could get everyone I know there out of that place. |

Dynamite, l think you are missing SOMETHING VERY BIG! LASG has signed a contract for the construction of an 8-lane motorway from OJOTA-KETU axis to IKORODU. I will leave you to figure out the rest, of-course, "small boys" like me are well positioned to benefit from the "environmental price appreciation" IF you have prime land at Ikorodu, at the current "unattractive price", l am willing to buy it of you please. Cheers. BTW: Lawyer, l am waiting for a response please. |

What I like about this post is the fact that lawyer has taken out time to do his due diligence in this area and also getting a surveyor from Alausa to survey the area . The main challenge in these communities is dealing with individual families. Eliminating that stress and the omoniles is a big step. I remember when a friend assisted someone to get a property in '07, every step of the process was fraught with challenges.
And the price is quite reasonable. I know a couple of multinationals who have bought up acres in this area.
At the end of the day though, you have to see it to know the worth.

What people don't understand is that it is easier to sell pure water than sell Real estate. How many people in Nigeria can afford these properties, no matter. I have a property in Ikeja, I just know it will take too long to sell that is why I have opt for rental. For those willing to hold their money in for the long term this may be ok

Finally Met with the Family Today! There is too much to relate and discuss but honestly i learnt something today. Time waits for No Man and Property Appreciation takes place in minute. Well Thanks and No thanks to this Endorsement, the Families has seen a huge Upsurge in Sales and N2.5 Million has turned to N3Million. The Community is beginning to see the Fruit of their labour and with Lekki Phase 2 Construction Work Beginning in Earnest, they have finally realised that they are in Possession of a Jackpot. They are not Interested in Installmental Payment Anymore because of Prevailing Abuse with the System. Later in the day i Will relate the full discussions i had with the families and the new developments from my search. But Honestly, Without being too Biased, Okun Ajah is Truely a Hidden Treasure! I strolled to The Beach and i can't Still believe Something like this is In Lekki and this Cheap! I really Can't Believe it. I might not be that Humble but i have to tell you Dynamite that i am appreciative to you for helping me open my eyes to see that place to acquire one for myself despite the fact that i showed you that place First for your Investment Purpose! Please if your interested In Okun Ajah, Please make your intentions known quickly so i link you to them. My Powers of Persuausion to help negotiate the Pricing Fee for Nairalanders is fast Reducing and i really hate the idea when someone is interested and goes about glossing and dancing around trying to shave 10kobo here and 20kobo there and when your ready to buy you expect the price to be the same after weeks or months of dancing about. Its not going to Happen. The N2.5Million you negotiated today will not be the amount the Owners will collect Tomorrow without any sign of Seriousness! Remember First and Foremost its a Business for the Owners and they would always look out for the best Price that fits them and Profit but Since to me the Owners dont know the Value of What they have now based on their Cheap Pricing now, This is the best Time to take advantage of them Back! Once a Valuer is Brought in, I can't Shout anymore. My Duty is to show you places that are best Buys and fantastic Deals with good legal documents! Okun Ajah is the Only Place in the Ajah Axis that Has a Beach Lagoon Front View and has its Own CERTIFCATE OF OCCUPANCY. Try and Beat that for a Very Dry Land going for N2.5 to N3Million now! If you see something better than this and Cheaper, Please I will advise you to go for that one without wasting a Heartbeat!Cheers! |

@Fhemmy They have cancelled Instalmental Payment Plans and its a One off Payment thing they are interested in Now! But then again, Who knows! If they strike an accord with you, Something might Crop up! Like i said, my own is to tell you about how viable the place is and Sort out any Legal Issues in your favour and you contact the owners yourself one on one and visit it yourself. I am not the Owner of the lands and am not an Agent in any way. Using me as a Link only adds credibility to your personal Negotation bargaining Chip with them and thats it! I cannot tell you a fixed price or a reduced price or an Instalmental payment plan, all i can do is plead on your behalf and see how it works out! So if your interested, call me or send me a mail and i patch you through to them and Give you their numbers and we will take it up from there on step at a time! Cheers! |
